About kraft paper and paperboard; sack kraft paper, uncoated, bleached, in rolls or sheets, other than that of heading no. 4802 or 4803

HS code 480429 covers a crucial category of kraft paper and paperboard products, specifically sack kraft paper that is uncoated and bleached. These materials play a vital role in the packaging and logistics industries, providing durable and versatile solutions for transporting and storing a wide range of goods. As a key component of the broader pulp, paper, and paperboard manufacturing sector, this industry contributes significantly to global trade and economic activity.

Production process

The production of sack kraft paper under HS code 480429 typically involves a multi-step process. First, wood pulp is chemically treated using the kraft process to produce high-strength paper fibers. These fibers are then bleached to achieve the desired white or off-white appearance. The bleached pulp is then formed into thin, continuous sheets using papermaking machinery, and the resulting kraft paper is cut and rolled for further processing or distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 480429 products include wood pulp, chemicals for the kraft process (such as sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide), and specialized papermaking equipment. Additionally, energy sources, water, and labor are essential inputs for this industry. The availability and quality of these raw materials and resources can significantly impact the production efficiency and overall competitiveness of manufacturers within this sector.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 480429 is sack kraft paper, which is used in the manufacture of various types of bags, sacks, and other packaging materials. This paper is often consumed by industries such as 482110 Corrugated paper and paperboard, 482190 Other paper and paperboard containers, and 482320 Sacks and bags, having a base of a width of 40 cm or more. Additionally, the kraft paper produced under this code may be further processed or combined with other materials to create a wide range of packaging solutions for both domestic and international markets.
